Ever since President Trump uttered the words “chloroquine” and “hydroxychloroquine” there has been a backlash by the media the likes of which we haven’t seen since – well, since they insisted Trump was a Russian secret agent.

But, just like the Ruskie spook hoax, the worm is turning on the media response to the promising use of the malaria medication for COVID-19 that Trump has espoused.

“JUST IN: Gov. Cuomo: Use of antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine in New York hospitals ‘anecdotally’ positive”

Oh, well if the New York Governor says it’s working for some patients, then that’s different.

The New York Times reports that using the medicine is getting results in defeating COVID-19. Well then.

There were even a couple of governors with such hatred of Trump that they refused to let doctors try the malaria meds on seriously ill patients upon pain of punishment. This goes to prove that Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is worse than fear of COVID-19.
